No not at all it reboots properly as well (no recovery) so i dont
think the shutdown mechanism is askew though perhaps I should verify my
kde related rpm packages.. I tried moving fam/sgi_fam out of xinet but
that didn't seem to fix the issue. I did a deja search on the fam errors
and the write errors shows up a german kde group (rh7.2 issue mentioned)
so that may be something seperate.. This is a laptop.. I'm a bit worried
that i'm hitting some corruption bug .. the config files get saved
properly but they get newly screwed up at some point by the time kde
starts again. (I'll try and hunt down when exactly this happens at all)
